“…In our study, the mean follow-up period was 7 months, and no late complications were reported. The study by Gabrielli et al 29 reported alopecia and hypertrophic scars related to the bicoronal approach.…”

The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the epidemiology, treatment, and complications of frontal bone fractures associated, or not, with other facial fractures. This evaluation also sought to minimize the influence of the surgeon's skills and the preference for any rigid internal fixation system. The files from 3758 patients who attended the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of the School of Dentistry of Ribeirao Preto, University of Sao Paulo, from March 2004 to November 2011 and presented with facial trauma were scanned, and 52 files were chosen for the review. Eleven (21.15%) of these patients had pure fractures of the frontal bone, and trauma incidence was more prevalent in men (92.3%), whites (61.53%), and adults (50%). Despite the use of helmets at the moment of the trauma, motorcycle crashes were the most common etiological factor (32.69%). Fracture of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus with displacement was the main injury observed (54.9%), and the most common treatment was internal fixation with a plate and screws (45.09%). Postoperative complications were observed in 35.29% of the cases. The therapy applied was effective in handling this type of fracture, and the success rate was comparable to that reported in other published studies.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Despite the not insignificant prevalence of this complication, the classic description of the coronal approach has remained largely unchanged over the past 2 decades. This point is well illustrated by comparing the initial landmark review by Frodel and Marentette 1 in 1993 with a more recent series from Brazil published in 2012 6 ; they each report at least transient frontal motor dysfunction in 11% of patients. The lack of substantial evolution of this technique may be attributed to its relative infrequency of use or perhaps a concern for the potential unintended consequences of an alternate approach.…”

A modified coronal approach with dissection deep to the temporalis fascia offers a safe and reliable surgical technique for accessing the upper craniofacial skeleton. Observed complications were minimal, and despite this deeper plane of dissection, there were no cases of either temporary or permanent facial nerve weakness in a large retrospective series of patients from over the past 6 years. Consideration should be given for the routine use of this modified coronal approach for both reconstructive as well as cosmetic indications.

“…Its popularity is accounted because of the excellent exposure and aesthetic scar provided by this approach. [1][2][3] Hartley and Kenyon first described this approach in 1907, and Sachs advocated bilateral frontal lobe exposure two decades later. In the late 1970s, Tessier and later Henderson and Jackson modified this approach for Le Fort II and III osteotomies, following which it gained widespread acceptance.…”

Presence of head injury in patients with maxillofacial trauma is a potentially life threatening condition. Frontal bone injuries are uncommon but significant and may appear with facial deformation and impaired aesthetics. Bicoronal approach provides excellent surgical access for frontal bone reconstruction with a very low rate of morbidity. This paper present two cases of posttraumatic frontal bone deformity treated with bicoronal approach.
